Chapter 32: Pirated Thunder Cliff?
As the investigation deepened, all the orcs who followed Abdul-Jabbar discovered a terrible phenomenon, these zergs emerging from the ground were not a single species, but an army of multiple populations.
In the humid areas, the swarms are darker in color and softer in carapace, but they have a higher IQ and are more stealthy, according to the orcs, more cunning.
In the arid area, the insect colony is lighter in color, mostly withered yellow, and Jabbar estimates that it is to better blend in with the surrounding environment and hide itself, because the desert area is originally based on earthy yellow.
These swarms in the Gobi desert have unusually hard carapaces, but they are also more ferocious and brutal, they like to dismember their prey, and then swallow it one bite at a time before the prey is dying. All orcs see these monsters as symbols of demons. But fortunately, these yellow bugs have a low IQ and are easily deceived, and only need a little tactics to win.
For more than a month, bad news has been coming from the areas inhabited by the northern orcs, a large number of orc villages and settlements have been destroyed, and insects have lined up through the northern steppes, and everything they pass through has been wiped out. Not only the orcs, but also the animals, grasslands, and woods have been gnawed by countless insects.
"The Mordi tribe settlement, judging from the recent attack points of the Zerg, the Mordi tribe will be the next area for them to attack. ”
Tucker stood in front of the massive map made of cowhide, his eyes wide open as he carefully studied the route of the swarm.
"I don't think so. You see, the villages and towns that have been attacked in the past half a month are all located in the Gobi belt and the quagmire zone, which means that the Zerg like to start from those places with loose soil. ”
Abdul-Jabbar said, standing in front of the map.
Tucker's thinking is relatively direct, he deduces the route of the Zerg's attack, and simply calculates from the location that appears on the map. But Abdul-Jabbar thought of more things, after all, he came from another advanced civilization world, and had a sharper eye for observation and reasoning than other orcs in this world.
From this point of view, it seems to be true. Dubak?"
Tucker yelled.
Indeed, of all the quagmire belts, that town was the closest to the Zerg army.
"We should go to the aid there and inform the companions there. ”
Karui roared in response.
"That's right, let's go now. But at the same time, we have to send all the laborers back to Hadrian, lay the boulders on the high ground above the city, and then let all the inhabitants move to the high ground, the Zerg can raid our city from underground, but when the bottom of our city is paved with boulders, no matter how sharp the claws are, they will not be able to dig through the hard boulders, so that our people will be able to resist the Zerg invasion through the fortifications of the highlands, and no longer have to worry about being blown up by bugs while sleeping**. ”
Jabbar foamed at the mouth, and this strange thought caused the other orc chiefs present to open their mouths in surprise.
"But the orcs are not in the habit of living on the top of the mountain......"
Walton asked, confused.
It was a bold and novel idea, and no orc would have come up with such a plan. However, Abdul-Jabbar thought that this matter was not a whim, but had been thinking about it for a long time, Hadrian was the main city of the orcs, with a large population, and had the basic condition for construction - the number of laborers.
And less than two kilometers outside the city is a stone mine, so the source of the stone is not a problem.
In addition, the city also has the innate conditions for building a highland city, because the whole Hadrian city is full of raised high cliffs, or the whole city was originally built in the valley of the crevices, and now the city is only moved to the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain has a large number of flat areas, although they are scattered, but as long as the suspension bridges are built, this problem can be solved.
When Abdul-Jabbar first thought of this plan, he was also inspired by the Thunder Cliffs in World of Warcraft, the terrain of Hadrian City is a bit like a combination of Thunder Cliffs and Orgrimmar, river valleys, high cliffs, and dangerous slopes.
On the high cliff is a flat lawn with stone pavement.
The innate advantages of everything make this seemingly strange idea have the possibility of practice.
"Habits can be changed, as long as it takes time to get used to them. ”
Faced with Walton's wide-eyed question, Abdul-Jabbar answered confidently.
"But what will we do when we get in and out after it is built? We can't climb that steep slope every time we go out of the city, right? There is no water source on the mountain, and all the water sources are in the valley, so how can we easily get to the valley?"
Tucker asked, orcs are not all simple-minded, and they still have close thinking about various problems.
"When the time comes, I will invent a crane that uses pulleys to take off and land, and thick ropes ensure that the elevator can bear the weight. The tribesmen could go up and down the mountain with that tool. ”
Speaking of the idea of building the city, Jabbar was more confident, and now, it was the turn of the orc uncle to show his wisdom, although it was actually a pirated version, but who knew about the orcs present? They also regarded the Great Chief as a genius, and even came up with so many brain-opening ideas.
"Elevators, cranes?"
These words made the orc chieftains present look confused.
"Anyway, you have to get the laborers to prepare the materials and move to the mountains first, this is a huge amount of work, it is bigger than the construction of two cities, it may take several months, before that, we must first block the expansion of the Zerg. ”
Facing the confused eyes of the other orcs, Jabbar didn't know how to explain it, anyway, he couldn't explain it for a while, the amount of moving the city was huge, and it was a wise choice to prepare the materials first.
"Well, but think about it, if this idea of yours comes true, Great Chief, Hadrian will become an impregnable fortress, and in the future, no race will be able to break it. ”
Tucker's mind was the first to react, and while everyone was still confused, the chief of the Blood Axe Clan had already begun to sketch out the appearance of the new main city of orcs in his mind. The city of the highlands, the vertical access machines, the chain suspension bridges densely packed in the city, and the city foundation made of stone slabs. Such a city, such a picture, it makes people feel surging when they think about it.
"Haha, you've finally figured it out. In a few months, when this city is built, our people will all benefit from it, and hopefully, by then, the Zerg army has not yet devoured the world. ”
Jabbar once again pulled the orcs present into the brutal and realistic swarm battlefield......
